Dialogue
*During the evening, in the Greenguard forest, Akanthus stands outside a cabin when a silhouette of a member of the Magesterium approaches him from behind; Akanthus notices the mysterious visitor he was somehow expecting.*
???: I take it you are the one I am supposed to be meeting here?
Akanthus: ...
*The silhouetted Magesterium member is wearing white robes, indicating that it is a female Magester; Akanthus turns around to look at the individual to begin their secret meeting.*
Akanthus: You could have at least worn more inconspicuous clothing.
*The Magester removes her mask to reveal herself as Bolemira.*
Bolemira: Look who's talking...
Bolemira: It is not like I have my ignominious out in plain view. Besides, no one knows of my people here.
Akanthus: They are about to, given the incident involving your people at the royal gala, in the capital of this kingdom.
Bolemira: ...Why send the letter to me, specifically? Any of my... "colleagues"... would have done the trick.
Akanthus: Don't think so highly of yourself, magester.
Akanthus: The Proclamation channeling has begun, I presume?
*Bolemira's eyes widen in shock upon hearing the news about the Proclamation from Akanthus.*
Akanthus: And the Magesterium still needs to place the focus points. You have one of them on you, isn't that right?
Akanthus: One... that has to be placed in Swordhaven?
Bolemira: How do you know of this? How did you know that I was designated to bring it? Is this why you wanted to meet here?
Bolemira: Who are you?
*Akanthus removes his helmet to reveal his face; before Akanthus could reveal his face, Bolemira is shocked.*
Bolemira: Ah.
*Akanthus puts the helmet back on after Bolemira has gotten a clear look at his face.*
Bolemira: This makes things much clearer.
Bolemira: I was there, at your trial, "Smooth Talker".
Bolemira: So this is where you have vanished.
Akanthus: You won't be able to smuggle it into Swordhaven, not with The Rose on guard.
Akanthus: But I can.
Bolemira: Why do you want to help the Magesterium?
Akanthus: I want to help you.
Akanthus: I feel like we... have a connection. I know that you don't particularly agree with the rest of them.
Bolemira: True.
Bolemira: I want to believe that one day I will be the downfall of the Shapeless Empire for what it stands, but...
Bolemira: Small steps.
Bolemira: You do know what the Proclamation does, don't you?
Bolemira: You realize to what fate you will be dooming this country?
Bolemira: Helping me, sadly, may well help the Magesterium in the long run as well.
Bolemira: Isn't this your home now?
Akanthus: I have plans.
Akanthus: Which reminds me... I have a question about the Fissure.
*Scene fades to black and back in; meanwhile, you follow Lynn deep into the Greenguard forest past "your spot", leaving you to wonder if Lynn truly lives here.*
<Character>: You really live here? In the woods?
Lynn: Yup!
<Character>: Why?
Lynn: Because my dad likes it!
<Character>: Isn't it... dangerous? Can't you move into a village, or a town?
<Character>: I can help you with that, if you want.
<Character>: There's a lot of houses and places to live in Falconreach!
Lynn: I'd have to ask my dad...
<Character>: Alright! Now, lead the way!
Lynn: There!
*Scene pans left to reveal two Bone Fires, a Shake Spear, and a Shoulder Blades, who stand before you and Lynn's way.*
<Character>: Umm... what are these skeletons doing there?
Lynn: They are the guards of my dad and I's castle!
<Character>: O... kay?
<Character>: That's not weird at all.
Lynn: They won't let you through, so you have to beat them up!
*Your eyes look at Lynn before looking at Lynn and her father's skeletons.*
<Character>: Right.
*You fight your way through the forest, fighting various skeletons along the way; eventually, you and Lynn reach she and her father's "castle", which turns out to be a cabin with a red roof; Lynn and her father's "castle" contains a wooden sign that reads "Kep Out!" and a clear white sign with the words "You enter, you die" over the front door.*
Lynn: This is my castle! My dad build it!
Lynn: He let me write the welcoming messages!
<Character>: It's, uh...
*You look at the cabin's sign over the door that reads: "You enter, you die" before complimenting Lynn.*
<Character>: ... lovely.
<Character>: Just a quick question...
<Character>: Why are so many skeletons guarding your...castle?
Lynn: Because my dad doesn't like intruders and makes them into guards!
*You gasped upon hearing Lynn's answer.*
<Character>: Oh...
*Scene fades to black and back in; meanwhile, Jaania lands at The Fissure, which appears to be a field of tall, overgrown cyan and pink grass; Jaania is shocked by her newfound surroundings.*
Jaania: This...
???: Lady Jaania!
*Scene pans right to focus on a brown-haired Rose Magus known as Magus Agrimonia, who greets Jaania upon her arrival.*
Magus Agrimonia: Magus Agrimonia, at your service!
Magus Agrimonia: I trust you had a pleasant flight?
*Jaania does not answer Magus Agrimonia's question, but instead comments the surroundings of The Fissure.*
Jaania: This is... beautiful, isn't it?
Magus Agrimonia: Oh yes, so much! The raw mana radiation coming from the Fissure influences the fauna and flora of this place in such brilliant ways!
Magus Agrimonia: Just a piece of this overgrown grass could act as a nexus for a day, two at most! Sparingly used, of course.
Magus Agrimonia: Isn't this magnificent?!
*Jaania's facial expression turns serious about this information.*
Jaania: It's... certainly troubling to hear.
Jaania: I saw the Fissure, from the sky. It's much, MUCH bigger than I anticipated it to be. And the surrounding ruins...
Magus Agrimonia: Yes yes, it's enormous!
Jaania: How close can we get to it?
Magus Agrimonia: I'd strongly advise against it. We haven't thoroughly tested the proximity yet, although...
Jaania: Yes?
Magus Agrimonia: One of my aides was observing what I assume was a new, yet uncatalogued species of a lepus influenced by mana, when...
Magus Agrimonia: It ran away. In the direction of the crater.
Magus Agrimonia: He followed it, and when he came back, he said that the closer he got to the crater, the more "his entire being was starting to hurt".
Jaania: Intriguing.
*Scene focuses back on Magus Agrimonia, who asks Jaania about they have discovered on The Fissure.*
Magus Agrimonia: Would you like a runthrough of what more we have discovered, Lady Jaania?
Jaania: Certainly, although I have one question that is of utmost importance.
Jaania: It has recently come to my attention that the Fissure is more than simply a geyser of raw mana. Is this true?
Magus Agrimonia: Oh oh, yes, very true! Oh, gosh, I can barely contain myself! I was dying to tell you this in person, Lady Jaania!
Magus Agrimonia: The Fissure is not just a geyser of mana! While we have been cautious of getting too close ourselves, we have been able to learn...
Magus Agrimonia: That it's a crater leading directly to the Mana Core!
*Scene cuts to black.*
